Took me a few weeks to decide to make a blog post about it but I had a good time dammit and I wanted to post about it!
I had my first Newgrounds meetup at TooManyGames this year!! If you saw the little fella in clown eyeliner walking around with a Rei plush that was me!
I spent the weekend with my Eddsworld friends and co-workers, @fliglaba, @static-brain-tv, @jonmastu, Oblivion Downing and her sister neep_tooni.
(Also featured here our friend cry4nne and a wild @chourios!)
If anyone showed up early we were the guys that started the drawing circle in the arcade (sorry TMG staff open your marketplace faster). So many notebooks and pens and poscas were thrown around I hope they got back to everyone safely.
Non of us had eaten for hours so we decided to go to Cheeburger Cheeburger and ended up being late to the group photo. We rushed back and thankfully everyone was still there.
The first person I spoke to was @mrshoeshine7 who not only gave a shout to my webcomic but also name-droping my character Emma. Wild stuff!!
The rest of the meet was a blur, I believe we ran into @PhantomArcade who pointed us in the direction of Tom? We scuttled over to the table and grabbed the poster, stickers, and threw down our own lol (THANK YOU ANN AND NEEP FOR THE ODDBALL PRINTS AND DESIGN)
We got a picture with @TomFulp and it was cool as hell! (Also pictured here is my nephew @notztupidity in the glasses)
@vividlance ran up to us and gave us bracelets!
I wore it the rest of the weekend it is so boss I love it oh so much.
I ran into @MKMaffo while waiting to see @SrPelo and that was especially cool. Hi Maf it was lovely to see you!! We chatted with Pelo for a bit, he heard about our hotel troubles from our friend Ana and he gave us his condolences lol. Got a photo where Maffo photobombed. Hello!
I didn't get a lot of photos with TMG people but I got a lot of signatures and spoke to a lot of people. Was surprised with how many usernames I recognized and how many recognized mine! I know I'm not that active on the forums or in comments but I love Newgrounds and this community and it was a wild experience.
@hibachi and I freaked out recognizing eachother which was insane and I loved it. Hi!! Your poster is badass! I'm still getting a frame for it but I'm also in the middle of moving so it'll have to wait aaaa.
I turned around and @SirLenward was standing there in all his SirLenwardness. We started talking way back during The Bartman Collab I believe and he's always been awesome to see around.
I think around that time @IvanAlmighty took to the stage to say he made us all dog tags. While everyone was scrambling to get theirs I ran up to him asking to sign my notebook. He blew smoke in my face and it was the coolest experience ever LMAO. Got a signature from @DrewPBalls and @slimygoo, turned another corner and there was @cortat-g! There were Newgrounders everywhere it was like a meetup or something!!
I think I got very overwhelmed from running around and seeing everybody so I sat down before TMG staff yelled at us all to leave. I got to sign the McDonalds poster and NG flag!! Shit was wild!!!
Later on Jon and I ran into @tamag0 in front of the Toxic Crusaders booth and we all signed eachothers notebooks.
Here's the rest of the signatures I got!
@KingCrowned @BrandyBuizel @moonlightp3 @godeta
who I forgot to mention above) (ALSO @emizip IT WAS AWESOME RUNNING INTO YOU A FEW TIMES THE WEEKEND!!)
The rest of the con was cool!! I made a big photo collage thread over on my Twitter (I ran out of images on here lol)
I had the time of my life meeting so many Newgrounds folks! Like I said I mostly just lurk around the site aside from posting stuff but it was wild how many people I recognized and how many knew me I'm still riding that high.
THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING IT A GREAT TIME I HOPE TO GO AGAIN NEXT YEAR!! 🫶 I <3 NEWGROUNDS
